    In this note we provide an explicit construction of FQ(n)FQ({\bf n}), the free QQ-distributive lattice over an nn-element chain, different from those given by Cignoli [4] and Abad--Díaz Varela [1], and prove that FQ(n)FQ({\bf n}) can be endowed with a structure of a De Morgan algebra.Fil: Monteiro, Luis.

    Topological representation for monadic implication algebras

    In this paper, every monadic implication algebra is represented as a union of a unique family of monadic filters of a suitable monadic Boolean algebra. Inspired by this representation, we introduce the notion of a monadic implication space, we give a topological representation for monadic implication algebras and we prove a dual equivalence between the category of monadic implication algebras and the category of monadic implication spaces.Fil: Abad, Manuel.

    Independence-friendly cylindric set algebras

    Full text link
    Independence-friendly logic is a conservative extension of first-order logic that has the same expressive power as existential second-order logic. In her Ph.D. thesis, Dechesne introduces a variant of independence-friendly logic called IFG logic. We attempt to algebraize IFG logic in the same way that Boolean algebra is the algebra of propositional logic and cylindric algebra is the algebra of first-order logic. We define independence-friendly cylindric set algebras and prove two main results. First, every independence-friendly cylindric set algebra over a structure has an underlying Kleene algebra. Moreover, the class of such underlying Kleene algebras generates the variety of all Kleene algebras. Hence the equational theory of the class of Kleene algebras that underly an independence-friendly cylindric set algebra is finitely axiomatizable. Second, every one-dimensional independence-friendly cylindric set algebra over a structure has an underlying monadic Kleene algebra. However, the class of such underlying monadic Kleene algebras does not generate the variety of all monadic Kleene algebras. Finally, we offer a conjecture about which subvariety of monadic Kleene algebras the class of such monadic Kleene algebras does generate.Comment: 42 pages. Submitted to the Logic Journal of the IGPL.
